Green Limes: promoting sustainability of extraction of native species
Limão Verde: promover a sustentabilidade do extrativismo de espécies nativas
Limão Verde: promover a sustentabilidade do extrativismo de espécies nativas
A socio-environmental assessment will be carried out in the Limão-Verde indigenous village. Alternatives for collection, production, transportation, and commercialization of extractive products will be proposed, making the women?s work lighter. A pilot project will be developed for community sustainability. 200 seedlings of the most appropriate species will be planted. The assessment will be divided into a bibliographical stage and a field stage, during which discussions with the community are proposed. After data analysis, proposals will be assembled, as well as a report for presentation and discussion with the community.

Project Characteristics and Results
Gender Focus
Most of the proposed activities will be organized and carried out by the Terena women, since they are traditionally more involved in the extractive activities among their populations.
Emphasis on Sustainable Livelihoods
Since the Terena women are more involved in extractive activities than the men, they will benefit the most from the implementation of this project, which promotes their traditional livelihoods of ecological conservation for subsistence and self-sufficiency.
